Production Manager
Job description
This is a remote position.
Who We Are
CK Specialty is a privately owned wholesale insurance brokerage and MGA specializing in E&S insurance. We are a small, entrepreneurial team focused on growth and opportunity. We move quickly, take ownership, solve problems, and work together to get things done. Our environment is hands-on, collaborative, and always evolving.
The Role
We’re looking for a Production Manager who can produce, lead, and build. You’ll maintain a small personal book while primarily focusing on growing the Production team, developing producers, and driving new business.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, solving problems, and helping a team succeed.
What You’ll Do
- Lead, coach, and develop the Production team.
- Maintain a small personal book and stay actively involved in production.
- Build and grow retail agency relationships and new business.
- Help producers grow their books and improve results.
- Set expectations, drive accountability, and address issues early.
- Work directly with leadership on production strategy and growth.
- Identify opportunities to improve how we work and help put those ideas into action.
- Recruit and develop production talent as we grow.
- Jump in wherever needed to support the team and get the job done.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- Commercial insurance experience with strong E&S/wholesale knowledge.
- Must be available to consistently work Pacific Time hours.
- Proven personal production and experience building a book of business.
- Strong retail agency and broker relationships.
- Experience leading and developing producers.
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
- Proactive, results-oriented, and comfortable making decisions.
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment.
- Adaptable and able to manage changing priorities.
- Someone who wants to win and wants the people around them to win.
What Success Looks Like
The Production team is growing, producers are getting better, new business is being created, and problems are being solved before they reach leadership. You’re producing yourself while making everyone around you better.
This May Not Be a Good Fit If...
- You’re used to having multiple layers of support, approval, and resources around you.
- You prefer managing from a distance rather than being directly involved in the work.
- You’re more comfortable overseeing established processes than building, improving, and figuring things out as you go.
- You need every decision mapped out before taking action.
- You’re uncomfortable rolling up your sleeves, jumping into the details, or doing what the business needs in the moment.
- You prefer a predictable environment where your responsibilities stay within a clearly defined box.
We’re looking for someone who wants to be in the middle of the action. Someone who can lead from the front, take ownership, and help build what comes next.

Skills mentioned
At Ck Specialty Insurance Associates, our retail insurance broker clients are at the heart of everything we do. We understand the challenges brokers face when dealing with difficult-to-insure risks, which is why we have dedicated over two decades to providing creative and effective solutions. As an independent, family-owned and operated managing general agent (MGA) and surplus lines broker, we offer our partners access to a broad spectrum of both non-admitted and admitted insurance products. Our primary goal is to empower our retail partners by opening market doors that might otherwise seem closed, allowing them to secure the best possible coverage for their clients' unique and complex needs. We built our business with the success of retail brokers in mind, believing that making the insurance process easier and more efficient ultimately benefits the end customer. Our customers often come to us after exhausting traditional insurance avenues. They need a partner with deep expertise and a flexible underwriting approach to navigate complex placements in professional, property, and casualty lines. We pride ourselves on our bespoke service and our ability to 'square the circle'—finding innovative ways to solve insurance problems. This is particularly true in niche markets where we have established ourselves as pioneers. For instance, we have been writing policies for wildfire-exposed properties for twenty years and wrote the very first cannabis insurance policy back in 2002. This unrivaled experience means our clients can be confident they are dealing with a firm where deep industry knowledge and the fair treatment of customers are central to the corporate culture. We are committed to building lasting relationships based on trust, responsiveness, and a shared goal of protecting what matters most to the insured.
